intelliAd products and EU-GDPR

„The general rule for successful tracking according to GDPR is: If businesses adopt basic data protection principles, such as „privacy by design“ and „privacy by default“ before the GDPR becomes law, as is the case at intelliAd, the Act will only demand minimal changes. In particular, Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation will become the method of choice for marketers. This article permits website providers to track website users on the legal grounds of “justifiable interest”. In any case, it is important to keep abreast of all developments (such as e-privacy guidelines) and agree any actions with your own data protection representative. Make sure tracking tools have a standard anonymisation (e.g. of IP addresses), check whether a contract on commissioned data processing has been signed and whether the tool has an opt-out function and standard data protections texts. At intelliAd, we offer our customers all of these features as standard, helping maintain a seamless customer journey tracking even after the GDPR has come into effect.“
